Sounds like he:1. tried to say donkey and was embarressed and just went with it2. misheard donkey as monkey and was convinced that monkey was the correct term3. was trying to come up with a new way to describe bad players ("stop trying to make fetch happen")

Well I guess you didn't play that bad if you wanted the pot right there and not allow him to give you more money. His AQ or what ever would have payed you off.
He said he had ak so, I wanted him to think I was overbetting and trying to buy the pot but he wouldnt go for it.

that's strange, since you pushed before he said he had AK.

He said he had AK. Odds were heavily against that. You played it terribly. Unless you wanted it right there. Don't check that flop in low levels either, because when the J turns, and he has broadway because he donked in with Q 10, you will realize why you played that hand wrong.

I was really doubted he had a hand like q10 with him calling a 1.50 preflop.

First off if I would have raised that flop he could have easliy reraised me in that position if he really had AK. Then I would have had make sure my two pair was actually good or not. I check the flop hoping he would be, which he did. So if I raise him to 9 or what I did by going all in makes no difference. IF he had strong enough hand to call a reraise of 9 he would call the all in.

I've always wanted to quote myself.And, I think it's awesome that you avoided this reply.Way to overbet the pot by $30 and put yourself in a situation where you're either winning not much with a big hand or you're losing everything, since you're only gonna get called by a hand that beats you.

This is bull. Perhaps in like 200 NL or maybe even 100 NL this might be true. In 25 NL people are so retarded that they call here with any ace any twopair and perhaps middlepair but the key is to not check the flop. just bet out and they will think "he cant have a good hand since if he had he would have checked". Never ever check raise just freaking mega bet!

He could call with with another two pair here or a draw, either flush or straight, you can think what you want. But I still put him on a decent hand that he would call all in on. But he folded.
